This book presents preliminary reports from the research project "Ethical Reflection in Economic Theory and Practice".

Peter Söderbaum presents a version of instituional economics, and Per Sundman discusses whether demands of justice are compatible with managerial goodness.
Göran Collste develops a thory of global justice, and Sven Ove Hansson gives an analysis of the concepts of equity, equality, and egalitarianism. Stability, and what is good about is, id dealt with by Gert Helgesson, and Malin Löfstedt discusses the model of human behavior in mainstream economics.
